While the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Chargers 41-22, the score doesn’t reflect how weird that game was.
The Bengals trailed 24-0, then brought it to within a two-point conversion to tie it.
The Chargers scored 24 unanswered points to open the game. Then the Bengals scored 22 unanswered in the middle. The Chargers closed it out with another 17 unanswered.
For once, it doesn’t seem like the Bengals’ fault that they lost. It seems like some dark, sinister force decided to meddle with the outcome of football games and chose the Bengals’ as its victim.
